Two people stranded on an island struggle to survive—and slowly fall in love—in the runawayNew York Times bestseller from the author of the forthcoming novel COVET.

Anna Emerson is a thirty-year-old English teacher desperately in need of adventure. Worn down by the cold Chicago winters and a relationship that’s going nowhere, she jumps at the chance to spend the summer on a tropical island tutoring sixteen-year-old T.J.

T.J. Callahan has no desire to go anywhere. His cancer is in remission and he wants to get back to his normal life. But his parents are insisting he spend the summer in the Maldives catching up on all the school he missed last year.

Anna and T.J. board a private plane headed to the Callahan’s summer home, and as they fly over the Maldives’ twelve hundred islands, the unthinkable happens. Their plane crashes in shark-infested waters. They make it to shore, but soon discover that they’re stranded on an uninhabited island.

At first, their only thought is survival. But as the days turn to weeks, and then months, the castaways encounter plenty of other obstacles, including violent tropical storms, the many dangers lurking in the sea, and the possibility that T.J.’s cancer could return. As T.J. celebrates yet another birthday on the island, Anna begins to wonder if the biggest challenge of all might be living with a boy who is gradually becoming a man.

I cannot say enough great things about this book! I loved every single thing about the adventure and the love. Watching the characters grow and evolve is fascinating. If you have this on your TBR it's a great time to pick it up. It's a great read for that summer porch swing!

**Warning: Xavier is a dirty-talking, panty-melting, and alpha as f**k. Can you handle the heat?**

How did I wind up getting f&*$ed hard against the wall of a luxury hotel suite? Oh yeah, I was just doing my job. My maid’s job, that is. But sexy guest Xavier has other plans – and he’s not a man who takes no for an answer.

I’m breaking all the rules, and rumor has it, Xavier’s hiding a dangerous secret. But I can’t help it – I want more.All ten inches more.

Nothing says heat like a sexy guy and a luxurious Miami hotel! This series is super sexy. You won't be disappointed with Xavier.

As an Olympic rookie, Andie Foster has spent far more time in her cleats than between the sheets. For 21 years, her Friday nights have consisted of blocking shots rather than taking them. But now that she's landed in Rio, she's ready to see for herself if the rumors about the Olympic Village are true:

The athletes are all sex-crazed maniacs...

The committee passes out condoms like candy...

The games continue long after the medals have been handed out...

As Andie walks the line between rumor and reality, she's forced into the path of Frederick Archibald, a decorated Olympic swimmer and owner of a sexy British accent—too bad he's unavailable in a way that "it's complicated" doesn't even begin to explain.

In other words: off limits.

It doesn't matter that he has abs that could bring peace to the Middle East and a smile that makes even the Queen blush; Andie fully intends on keeping her focus on the soccer field. But the Village is small. Suffocating. Everywhere Andie goes, Freddie happens to be there—shirtless, wet from the pool, and determined to show her a whole new meaning of the phrase "international affairs".

If this is what the Olympic Village is like I'm a pissed I didn't spend more time training! I love this fun and flirty read. Nothing like a man in a Speedo to get your heart racing!

Ever since he can remember, he’s wanted to be a professional surfer. And he made it, rising to the top of the ranks, traveling the world and riding every break he’s ever dreamed of. His good looks and reputation for living on the edge—both in and out of the water—have made him an international superstar. But when his best friend dies in a tragic accident, Kellen wipes out big time, spiraling so badly that everything he’s worked for starts to disintegrate.

Tour officials scramble to do damage control and demand he work with a public relations company to clean up his bad boy image. It doesn't help that the person assigned to him, Gina Bellori, has her own demons associated with the surfing world.

Against her better judgement Gina accepts the job and concentrates on repairing Kellen's tattered reputation, despite his protests and despite the pain it causes her. With her past colliding with her present—and Kellen in the thick of it—she begins to realize that some secrets can't stay hidden.

And suddenly, Kellen Handler is no longer worried about losing his career.

He's more worried about losing his heart.

Anna Cruise is one of my all-time favorite writers and this is one of my favorite beach reads! Kellen is sexy on and off his surfboard. Click it now and get ready for a wet and wild ride!

When I read this book, I immediately messaged M. Mabie and gushed about how much I loved it. It's a little taboo but in a great way! I loved Betty and Lou and rooted for them from the jump! Bait is the first in a series of three and I promise you won't be able to stop until all three are devoured.

Daniella Alvarez and Dylan McKendrie used to be in love. They used to be a team. An inseparable force to be reckoned with. But, when tragedy struck, their relationship sank faster than the ships they used to scour the ocean floor for. Now all that's left are scattered remains of what used to be.

Dylan, no longer seeking the mysteries on the ocean floor, now goes for the sure things and the guaranteed paychecks. When a longtime friend suggests he has hard proof that one of those legends that used to keep Dylan up at night could be real, he's torn between going after the gold and maintaining the life he'd built since leaving The Florida Keys.

Daniella was always a dreamer. She's always been chasing what would most deem unattainable—professionally and personally. Everything she'd ever wanted seemed to slip through her fingers the day he left, which is exactly why his return has her seeing red.

Can the two of them put their past aside long enough to figure out a mystery that has plagued them both for years? Can they work together to see what lies below the surface?

I know, I know...I wrote it so I'm biased, but this one has everything that's perfect for summer! A sexy boat captain, a sassy diver and mysterious shipwreck! You'll want to see what happens when Dylan returns to the island he left behind and has to face the woman who broke his heart.
